THE Union of the True Sun with The Sun, and other circumstances, have now given us a posi tion which no other Evening Journal possesses. It appears from the Parliamentary returns, that this Union has placed us at the head, and con siderably at the hcad, of all our Contemporaries. The attainment of this position has not been effected without very great sacrifices, and still greater exertions—exertions which the whole of the Pro vincial Press has declared to be unparalleled. We shall not, however, pause here. There arc other things of importance which have never been attempted by any Newspaper, but which we propose to effect. The private business of Parliament involves property, and affects interests to a much larger extent than any of the Courts of Law ; yet there have been no systematic or periodical Reports of those pro ceedings. We intend to supply the desideratum, by furnishing accurate and daily reports of the proceed ings of every Private Committee; so that smuggling of Bills through the Legislature, often of the most important character, can no longer tak e place Every individual who chooses wily become ac quainted with any matter affecting. himself or his property that comes before Parliament. To Law yers—to Members of Corporations —t o Joint stock Companies—this information must be very desirable. Our agricultural friends will not be forgotten. At present they are dependent for prices either upon local Newspapers, which arc generally: published on the morning of each market day, and consequently only contain the prices of the preceding week ; or upon Lon don Journals published only once a week. We propose to remedy this defect by giving daily reports of every Corn -market of importance in the kingdom immediately after it takes place; so that before any farmer goes to market, he may know the prices that have been obtained, in the shortest possible time, in his neigh bourhood. Besides the above, we propose many other im provements which must contribut e greatly to the advantage of our readers ; but we hare not time to advert to them. Let us be judged by our merits. Sun Office, January 1, 1838. The publication of Tint SUN NEWSPAPRR commenced this day at 10 minutes past Three o' Clock. ,ers , . .<4'l4P (frlif)t i'Z^ll2)l4 WITH IVIIICR " THE TRUE SUN" IS NOW INCORPORATED. LONDON: TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 2, 1838. Lord GOSFORD'S Proclamation to the people of Lower Canada—of which we yesterday expressed our entire approbation—will be found in another part of The Sun. We never perused a document of the same kind with more sincere pleasure. It embodies feel ings and sentiments honourable to the head and heart of that Nobleman —worthy of the nation whose SOVEREIGN he so well represents in the prompt exercise of the prerogative of mercy. His appeal to the Canadians is that of a father to his children. " I address myself," says his Lordship, " to your good sense, and to your personal experience of the benefits you have received, and of the tranquil lity you have so long enjoyed under the British Go vernment. You possess the religion, the language, the laws guaranteed to you nearly seventy years since. You know not the burdens of taxes." After enumerating the advantages enjoyed by the Colonists, in language the most conciliatory, his Excellency, with parental earnestness, thus seeks to bring hack the deluded populace to a sense of duty. " I now, therefore, call upon those who have been thus far deluded to listen to the language of rea son, sincerity, and truth. Listen to the exhortations of your respectable and trustworthy clergy. * Return to that allegiance to your SOVEREIGN, which you have now for the first time violated, and to:that obedience to the law which you have hi therto invariably maintained. * * * Retire to your homes, and to the bosoms of your families ; rest assured that a powerful and merciful Go vernment is more desirous to forget than to resent injuries, and that WITHIN THAT SANCTUARY YOU IVILL EXPERIENCE KO MOLESTATION." Hard must be the heart, or hopeless the infatuation of the Canadian insurgent, upon whose conduct this appeal will fail to have any effect. But be the result what it may, we shall never cease to admire and to hold up as a model of imitation, the truly paternal spirit which dic tated, and the humane feelings which pervade, every line of the Noble Earl's proclamation. The Canadian Tories are enraged because " war to the knife" is not the cry of the Government, and the Tories at home repeat their clamours, in the expectation of goading on Ministers to ruin themselves in the good opinion of the people of England by their cruelties to wards a populace in a state of rebellion. We trust the Whigs will not prove themselves madmen, by rushing into the trap thus set for them by their enemies—by the enemies of liberty in every part of the world. We sincerely hope they will adopt every measure consistent with a regard to the public safety, calculated to spare effusion of blood—guilty as well as innocent, if repentant. That venerable and useful institution, the Society of Arts, has just issued an appeal to its numerous mem bers, including upwards of fifty Peers, &c., and through them to the public. 'We cordially join in this appeal, while we regret its necessity. Few Societies have done more good, and certainly none have been better based. Its great object and governing principle are the encouragement of science, and the discouragement of selfishness. It has called into existence, fostered and matured, talents which would otherwise have been unemployed, and promoted latent inventions that would otherwise have been unimproved. In the course of its labours it has given vitality and vigour to the chisels of NOLLEKIN BACON, and FLA XMAN—the brushes of COSWAY, BARRY, and LAw ENCE—the discoveries of BRAMAH, EDGEWORTH, FERGUSON, and MANEY, and spent thousands upon thousands in promoting the mechanics and manufactures of the country. These have been the excellencies of the Society of Arts, but it has had its defects ; and under those defects, it has for years been withering away. One of the worst of these defects is au inconsistent regulation, prohibiting the publication of its transac does before the appearance of its own annual volume. On the one hand, it said to all aspirants after science and the arts, " We will encourage you, if you will give the benefit of your discoveries and improvements unreservedly to the public." On the other hand, it said, " The public shall not have the benefit of those discoveries and improvements, until some time after they have been made, and in such a shape as will best redound to our own honour and advantage." An Institution for discouraging selfishness should not begin by insisting upon monopoly ; not only is this absurd in theory, but it is most mis chievous in practice. Mark how it would operate in a recent discovery of this Society, viz., the presence of arsenic in certain candles. Suppose this rule had been obstinately maintained, would the gentlemen acting solely " for the public good," have not be come accessary to all the deaths that might have taken place before their annual volume was published ? To cure this inconsistent and mischievous principle, and to obtain fur the Society the support of kindred Institutions throughout the country, appear to have been the objects contemplated by Mr. NORTHHOUSE, in the resolutions moved by him, and for which lit obtained a Committee at the last Gen eral Meeting. The Society of Arts, like the fabled pelican, has fed these institutions with its own blood, and now comes back to them, like the Grecian father, for the nourishment which their young and healthy bosoms can supply. Considering the mines of mental wealth it possesses in its models during eighty years of scientific invention, its library, and its magnificent paintings, we should hope that many Societies in the country will affiliate with it upon the plan suggested. The very active interest which the Dukes of SUSSEX aid SUTHERLAND, Sir EDWARD CODRISGTON, M. P., Mr. TENNYSON D'EYNCOURT, M. P., and other distinguished Members of the Society are now taking to rescue it from its difficulties, leave little doubt of its speedy "regeneration, which we think the very able Address, of which the following are extracts, will greatly promote : ADDRESS. The Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures, and Commerce, like many others, is composed realiy,thodgh not nominally, of two classes of contributing members. The one from sympathy o. tastes or local opportunities occupy the icsponsible 6 ituntions in the So_ ciety, transact gratuitously its current business, and Mid their appro priate r.c7mpence in the acquisition of such knowledge as can be gained by examining and discussing the many ingenious inventions that offer themselves to the notice and reword of the Society. The other class of members, more numerous than the former, includes these who are will. ing to contribute to the fonds of a Society, the objects and gAier,.l ma nagement of which they approve, although prey,rit.d by various cir_ curnstances from taking an active prat in its concern;, and often but little acquainted with its proceedings, except through the medium of the annual volume. In the year 1734, when this Society was founded, there existed ab solutely no institutions in this country, for the purpose of encouraing the application of science to the improverrent of the practical arts, or to extend to !hearts of design that patronage without which they languish and decay. By the generous personal exertions of Mr. William Shipley, of the then Earl cf Romney, and of Viscount rolkstone, the Society of Arts was estabiished, and in the first twenty-eight years of its exist ence was enabled to expend, on the vat ions laudable objects which it had in view, about a thousand pounds annually. Of this sum no less than 8,1531. was bestowed in honorary medals and large pecuniary pre miums to painters, sculptors, and engravers, previous to the creation of the Royal Academy ; and the gratuitous use of the Society's Great Room was allowed for some of the first annual exhibitions of the works of English artists. In carpet weaving and quilting in the loom, the Society had the satis faction of introducing and securing to the country various improve.- ments, and some entirely new branches of manufacture by the judicious outlay of not more than 1,3001. The supply of fish by land carriage to Londm, from the fishing stations on the coast of Kent and Sus,ex originated in this Society. 3,3001. were contrilauted for this purpose from its own funds, which, with 2,0001. given by the Government, had the effect of breaking up a monopoly of the Thames fishermen, and of diminishing the price, a. well as increasing the quantity, of a very agreeable and important article of food. It would draw out this Address to an unsuitable length if we were to follow in detail the appropriation of various other sums—for the in. vention Of machines to spin several threads at once (prior to the con struction of the spinning, -jenny) ; for dying Turkey-red; for making morocco leather ; for improving the manufacture of crucibles ; for weaving fishing nets by machinery, in which is contained the germ of the lace-frame ; and for introducing the culture of the Eastern spices into the West Indian Colonies. Enough, we trust, has been shown to establish the fact that the Society, in the early period of its existence, hai wisely and successfuly employed the funds entrusted to its dig ti ihution. From this time the Society beg n to publish its transactions which now form a:series of fifty one volumes. To attempt an abstract of even a selection from such a mass of materials would be very ill timed on the present occasion, as it would necessarily lead to details which would swell this address into a treatise. We may, however confidently ap peal to the many interesting and important inventions described in these volumes (models of most of which are at all times gratuitously open to the inspection and use of the public) and found upon them our claims to the continued support of our countrymen. To enable the Society to pursue this system of public benefit, it is requisite to state candidly its present pecuniary circumstances. (Here a number of figures are brought forward which show that the income is not equal to the expenditure, and that the Society is in debt above 5001.) To meet this charge the only available fund is the sum of 7264 13s. 1 Id. three per cents., which of late years has accumulated by investing the compositions of life members ; but the Society is desirous to abstain from breaking in upon this fund if it can be avoided. The other funds of the Society are 3881. ls. 4d. three-and_a_half per cents., and 1001. three per cents , in trust for special purposes, the in_ terest of which alone is available. The aids, therefore, which it is to object of this Address to pro cure are— First—Donations and annual subscriptions from the nobility and wealthy patrons of the arts, manufactures, and commerce of the country, and such other persons as may be Induced to assist the active members of the Society to renovate the funds and to extend the useful powers of the Society. Secondly—Active exertions on the part of the Members to obtain such an increase of our Subscribers as may restore the funds of the Society to their former efficiency. It is hoped that both these objects may he accompiished ; and an omen of success, as well as stimulus to our efforts, may be derived from the circumstance that the Society has just received from a Lady, a donation of 5001. as a fund, the interest of which is in part to be ap plied to the establishment of two annual medals for certain kinds of architectural drawings and models. Looking to the importance of this Society in the earlier stage of the Arts and Manufactures of the country, and to its facilities for further promoting them hereafter, and referring to the scientific, the patriotic, and the liberal Raines which adorn the list of its Members—the Com mittec confidently rely on this statement procuring it relief from the difficulties by which its usefulness is at present impeded. By order, Adelphi, Jan. 1838, A. AIKEN, Sac. We had occasion, a week or two ago, to make a few remarks on certain epistles of the Bishop of EXE TER, addressed to Lord MELBOURNE, on the sub ject of the " heavy blow, and great discouragement to protestantism." The Right Rev. Pamphleteer attempted, with his usual artifice, to drag the Premier into a correspondence, which he hoped to render sub servient to the advancement of those party views to which he is at all times ready to sacrifice every other consideration. He was, however, foiled in this enterprize, for Lord MELBOURNE proved that the words used by him, had, by being dislocated from the context, been made to convey a meaning di rectly opposite to that which he intended, and that, so far from having asserted that the measure which he was introducing to the Legislature, would be injurious to the Protestant cause, he stated his conviction that its ultimate effect would be to give additional strength and security to that cause. The Bishop of EXE TER not having succeeded in his object with the Premier, another spiritual champion, has entered the lists with a loud flourish of trumpets, and challenged Lord BROUGHAM to do battle on the same ground, the Noble and Learned Lord having, it is alleged, by defending Lord MELBOURNE'S expression, rendered himself obnoxious to the displeasure and vengeance of all good Christians. The champion rejoices in the name of \VILLIAM HOLMES, and in the dignities of D.D. and Chancellor of the Diocese of Cashel. He has vindicated his spiritual titles by an outpouring of intemperate wrath, such as would have done credit to the most foul-mouthed Divine that ever put pen to paper, to give vent to the odium thcologicum. But un fortunately for Dr. HOLMES, he has mistaken his man. He has not been- able to provoke from Lord BROUGHAM any other reply than the following polite and unimpassioned note, which has had the effect of adding fuel to the flame that raged so fiercely in the breast of the Rev. Doctor, who has, in a lengthy rejoinder, fulminated the terrors of the last judgment against both the Noble Lords. " Berkeley-square, Dec. 19, 1837. " Lord Brougham presents his compliments to Dr. Holmes, and has. ing read the letter addressed to him in an Irish newspaper, and referred to in Dr. Holmes' private letter, hastens to assure Dr. Holmes that he takes it in perfect good part. Had any one made the same charge without his name there would have been no occa sion for taking notice of it. But when a person of Dr. Hohnes's station and respectability has so far misunderstood him as to sup pose that he holds it justifiable 'to do evil that good may come,' Lord Brougham feels himself bound to set him right. He knows that such is not by any manner of means his own opinion, and he firmly believes it is not Lord Melbourne's. Whet, Lord Melbourne used the expression in question, and when Lord Brougham defended it, as explained by referring to the context, the meaning most certainly was not that what was proposed to be done would be wrong in itself, but jus tified by an advantage to be gained ; neither Lord Brougham nor any one else could have defended such a proceeding. But the meaning was, that the measure itself, taking all its consequences together, was right both first and last." The Lisbon Papers, up to the 23d of last month, have brought "no intelligence of importance." This has been the tale repeated, week after week, by the enemies of the existing Government in Portugal. Now, when we look back at the awful forebodings with which letters and leading articles were filled for many months, and muse on the dreadful calamities which were soon to overwhelm that devoted country-- when we reflect on the vile machinations of " pecu lating functionaries," " pardoned traitors," and " tur bulent exiles," and on the wicked abominations of those " clubs," held in such detestation by the re spectable inhabitants of Lisbon—we must say that the rears contained in these papers is of the highest im portance. Not only Lisbon, but Oporto also, is now devoted to destruction. These papers inform us that FRANCA and MANTAS and PEREIRA are still and that the wicked functionary that rules over the Court and corporation of Lisbon with uncontrolled sway, he o!' the arsenal—has become more active than ever, and is extending his baneful influence in all directions. And can this be called intelligence of no importance Is it nothing to learn that the men who are to over turn the existing institutions of the country, and strip the monarchy of its prerogatives—that traitors, rebels, and incend;aries, now overawe the citizens of Lisbon and Oporto—and have compelled them to elect the municipal fu :ctionaries out of lists furnished by these destructives? " Both at Lisbon and Oporto (says the correspondent of a Morning Contemporary) the Cor porations have chosen from the lists given in by the revolutionists. In Lisbon there arc about 12,000 electors, and the qualification is so low that several hundred soldiers of the arsenal battalion, and I believe the whole of the municipal guard, arc voters"—': these, if acting together, must exercise a great influence in the choice of the Corporation." " In. Oporto affairs have been carried on in the same spirit." Now, when it is recollected that Lisbo❑ contains a population of 243,000, and Oporto at leut 60,000, and that they pos sess large revenues and extensive power, and that the re venues and power are now in the bands of the Revo lutionists, it cannot be denied that these will give the Clubs " great advantage in any future contest with their opponents"—and yet this is described PS intelli gence of no importance i True, it is not that sort of intelligence which the calumniators of the Portuguese Government consider important. It would b e of im portance to hear that the policy of the Bandeira Mi nistry had excited dissatisfaction in :every quarter — that the despot in the Arsenal had provoked the inha bitants of the capital to rebellion—that the defeated party had made a third -attempt to get up a cry for the Charter, and that Miguelists and Chartists had united to put down this hateful Administration in the midst of anar chy and bloodshed ; but it is of no importance to learn that the intriguing Courtiers are confined to their legi timate duties by the military and the citizens—that the Municipal Authorities of the first two cities in the kingdom, have been selected from among the Consti tutionalists—and that the prudent and firm conduct of BANDEIRA has abated the violence of the Radical party, and deterred the advocates of absolute monarchy from disturbing the peace of the country. We con sider these facts, however, of great importance ; be cause they show that the spirit of freedom has taken deep root in the minds of the people, and prove that the imputations cast on BANDEIRA, and the leaders of the Constitutional movement, have, with very few exceptions, been wicked falsehoods.. The whole of the Paris journals of Sunday have been received this morning. They bring adviccs from the Spanish frontier of the 28th ult., which state that on the 25th the Carlist expedition commanded by Don BASILIO GARCIA, a priest, marched from Llodio in the direction of Navarre. The entire force is reported to consist of 7,000 infantry and 500 horse. The main body of ESPARTERO'S army continued to oc cupy the same cantonments upon the line of the Ebro. The amicable termination of the dispute between Holland and Belgium, respecting the forest of Gru nenwald, is confidently anticipated in these journals. The following extraordinary paragraph relative to this affair is copied from the De6ats, in which it is given without a word of comment : " A courier, just arrived from Berlin to the Foreign Office, was bearer of an autograph letter from the King of Prussia to Louis Philip, in which he states that he perfectly agrees with him upon the affairs of Belgium, and that he leaves it to his management to terminate the dif ferences which exist between that country and Holland. The 'Alinister of War was immediately sent for by his Majesty, and after a conference, which lasted a few minutes, couriers were sent off to revoke the orders given in the morning." The " orders given in the morning" had for their object the movement of a large military force towards the Belgian frontier, and their revocation upon receipt of the King of PRussi A's letter, leaves us to infer that France suspected the designs of the Berlin Cabinet to be of a hostile nature. Prussia proves her disinterestedness by delegating to France the right of settling the dispute as she may think proper. This is so far very complimentary ; but then comes th e ques tion—Has Prussia any c l a i m t o t h e nomination of an umpire ? This is the ticklish part of the business— the more especially as Holland has net yet expressed any intention of being guided by the opinions of the Sovereigns who thus constitute themselves mediators in a dispute which can only be regularly settled by the German Diet. The Cardinal Secretary of State of the Holy See has addressed the following Circular to all Ministers accredited to the Court of Rome : " QUIRINAL (PALACE), DEC. 10.—The expulsion of the Archbishop of Cologne from the see of that metropolis by the Prussian Government is noTv a fact of public notoriety. It has caused extreme surprise to his Holiness, and nothing can equal the affliction felt by his apostoiical soul on being apprised of this act. The conviction of the holy father that the holy see, in its indulgent cmdcseension, has used all the means compatible with the maxims and dogmas of the Catholic religion, not to leave the Prussian Govern. mcnt even a pretext to undertake anything against the principles and authority of the Catholic Church and its ministers, must have increased the deep pain which the intelligence of the above events had caused him. In circumstances so sad and unexpected, the holy Father, list ening only to the voice of his holy ministry, convoked a secret con sistory of the sacred College, to acquaint the august assembly with the expulsion of the Archbiscop of Cologne, and to protest solemnly against an act constituting an attempt against ecclesiastical authority, ponti fical primacy, the laws, and the very unity of the Catholic Church. " In compliance with the orders of his Holiness, the Cardinal Secre tary of State forwards to your Excellency a copy of the pontifical address, annexed to the present letter, which you will please to com. municate to your Court." _ _ The Nouvelle Minerve, in commenting upon this affair, has the following passage, to which we direct the attention of our readers : " Should the army of observation despatched by France to the Prussian frontiers fail of its errand in the Luxemburg affair, it may not chance to want employment in another way. The arrest of the Archbishop of Cologne has produced a ferment of agitation among the Catholic po pulation of the banks of the Rhine. The Pope has pronounced, before the Assembly of Cardinals, a speech, in which he declared that the Archbishop was fully in the right ; and sparks, at least, have been blown ugon the firebrand of war between the Roman Pontiff and the King of Prussia, whom the Catholic clergy do not hesitate to compare to Julian the Apostate. The Archbishop of Paris has not neglected this opportunity of displaying his religious zeal. The quarrel is as suming a very serious appearance • the King of Prussia is placed in the alternative of either receding or employing force ; but then what are the consequences of force employed against consciences excited at the same time by religion and patriotism f Under such circumstances France cannot be too much on its guard, nor the Govornment too pru. dent in its manmuvres. The Cologne affair is far more serious im portance than that of the forest of Grunenwald. There is no domestic news of any interest in the Paris Journals of Sunday. Subjoined are extracts from them : The Gazette de Languedoc contains the following article:— " A letter from St. Beat, of the 23d, informs us that on the pre ceding day the Carlists had unexpectedly penetrated into the Valley of Aran, and that after a brisk fire of musketry with the Christinos they had entered Vielle. Our correspondent was not able at the moment of his writing to give us any other details. " A le:ter from the frontier, of the 22d, teils us that Colonel Sa. garra, at the head of 1,300 men, has defeated a Christino column of 2,000 men, commanded by Cleinenta. This Chief, leaving Vich with the regiment of Zamora, the remains of the Belgian Legion, and the receteros, intended to proceed to Campredon to favour the passage of Carbo, who was coming from Puycerda. Sagarra advanced to Saint Quirse ; lie had with him four mountain guns. The action took place in the advantageous position which he had chosen ; it continued several hours, and the Cliristinos being dispersed were obliged to take refuge at Olot. Semmet, Commander of the Miguelists, and the son of Carbo, are said to be among the ki!led. " There is much desertion among the Christinos, especially in the regi m-nt of Zamora, which was commanded by Col. Sagarra, who is joined by several of his old soldiers, by whom he was much la,lovell. Other Christinos take refuge in France. They are discouraged and in a state of complete destitution, while their adversaries arc full of ardour for the cause which they defend. " The conveyance of 200,000 cartridges from Figueras to Puycerda by the French frontier has been permitted, and will begin to be carried into execution on the 22d of this month."—Gazette de France. A morning journal hai the following article : SARAGOSSA, Dec. 25.—Cabrera, after having ravaged Quinto Be naceta and Ypar, has hastened towards Xeloca, and in two days has marched over 26 leagues without being pursued by a single soul. It is said that lie seas ready to penetrate into Castile by way of Godoges or Alhama, and that his intention is absolutely to seize on Soria or Boyo. He is punctually served, but it is through fear, for during the last six weeks he has done nothing but shoot the Alca'des, , whom he takes to be enemies to the cause which he supports.7-Com fierce. The Qmotidienne thus sums up some of the services in which the army is engaged:— " 30,000 men in garrison in Paris ; 30,000 in Africa watching Abd el-Kadcr : 30,000 in observation on the coast and frotier of Spain for the b?ncfit of the Constitutionalists; 30,000 in the West teaching the Vendeans to respect the Constitution of 1830 ; 30,000 in the East to attend, in case of need, to the movements of the King of Prussia." CORSICA, DEC. ‘23.—The district of Sartene has been freed of a dreaded robber. It was to the activity and courage of corporals Bartoli and Muracioti, and of the soldier Mattel, of the 4th company of the Corsican Voltigeurs, that the island is indebted for the destruction of Jacques Bar toll, alias ('lnferno. Those brave men have deserved well of the country, and will, we hope, be adequately recompensed for their zeal and devotedness. Th:y were following Bartoli a long time when, on the 16th, towards nightfall, being on the territory of Olmeto, at a plav called Aglio, th y suddenly heard a noise, and Mattel saw l'ln fcrne taking aim at him with a carbine. Fortunately the piece missed fire, and Mattel, leveling his gun at him, shot him dead on the spot. Bartoli had been guilty of a number of murders in the district of Sar tone, where he had defied for several years the vigilance of the police, snd the activity of the troops employed in pursuit of him.—Journal des Debuts.

OLD COURT. (Before the CommoN SERGEANT and Alderman T. WiLsorl.) illisnr.stßA our,. —John Boone and Richard Quantoch were indicted for a misdemeanour, in a conspiracy to defraud. Two other persons, named Ann TV/site an ,l Mary Collycr, were included in the same indictment, but had been let out on bail, and did rot appear. Mr. PRENDEhGASE (with whom was Mr. C. Pittwes), in stating the ease for the prosecution, said the law, with regard to conspiracy was, that, seeing the difficulty, almost the im possibility, o f p rov i n g the actual combination for a conspiracy, the conspiracy was to be proved by sheaving acts to have been committed by the prisoners, which could only have been the result of such conspiracy. Boole, White (who passed as his wife), and Collyer (who went for his mother), had been in the habit or taking houses in different parts of the town—in the Old and New Kent-roads ; in St. Andrew's-hill, Doctors' Commons ; in Chelsea, and other places; and, pretending to set up in business, thus obtained credit' from tradesmen ; and, in order to assist their plans, Boone, who had the various aliases of Morgan, Jackson, Collyer, • &c., had given refer ences to Quantock ; and the latter prisoner, who had some times assumed the name of Collyer, had referred to Boone, as a guarantee. The Learned Counsel then called the fol lowing witnesses Mr. C. Fenning, tea-dealer, Laurence Pountney-lane, re membered calling on Doone cn the 28th of April last, in Paradise-row, Chelsea. I saw White, who represented her self as Doone's wife. I obtained an order for some tea, which I sent, but no money was received. In consequence of some thing which I had heard, I went to No. 9, Fan-street, Gos well-street. There saw the prisoner Quantock, who went by the name of Collyer, and who said that he would obtain me an interview with Doone. I afterwards found that they had another shop, in St. Andrew's-hill, Doctors' Commons.' Sub sequently went to a shop in Brook-street, where i saw Quan tock. On callng him by the name of Collyer, he said his name was Quantock. Then I went to the shop in St. An drew's-hill, and saw two females, the younger of whom was White. Next day Quantock called upon :me, and said he wax going to " order an action against you all."—( Laughter. ) Two days after I received a writ in the name of Collyer. No such action, however, has ever been brought. against me. The witness was cross examined at great length by Mr. CHAMBERS, who, with Mr. PAYNE, was for the defendant, but nothing mr.telial was elicited. Re-examined by Mr. PHILLIPS.—SOme time after what I have stated, I saw Boone, who denied any knowledge of Quan tock. lie offered to give security for the goods. I refused, saying, " You are all of one gang, and I will transport you all." Ho replied, I might take the consequences. When the prisoners appeared at Guildhall they whispered together, as if they knew one another. Cross-examined by Mr. CHAMBERS.—When I had the order for the goods, the woman who represented herself as Boone's wife offered me part money and part security. Mr. George Davis, grocer, Knightsbridge, was applied to by Boone in April last for credit, stating that he was a cabinet maker, and had taken a general shop in Paradise-row, Chelsea, for his wife. He said he would pay for tho first parcel, and gave a reference to a person named Collyer. I sent a parcel of goods value 91. 13s. I received only about 41. The refe rence was to 9, Fan-street. I went there and saw a woman who said she was Mrs. Collyer, and her husband would not be in till night. She confirmed Boone's account I afterwards saw Boone, and told him I was satisfied. He paid the balance due on the first parcel. He had subsequently four other parcels of goods, which came to 181., none of which he has paid. In the latter end of the month, on going up to Paradise-row, found the house deserted. About a week afterwards,saw Mrs. Collyer in the shop in St. Andrew's-hill. I said, " I really believe you to be all a set of swindlers." I asked for Mr. Collyer ; there was a man in the parlour, who thereupon sneaked away. Next day I was introduced to a person called Collyer, at Brook-hill—the prisoner Quantock --by Mr. Penning. Mr. Collyer looked as all bad men.— ( Laughter.) Mr. PRENDERGAST—NO, DO ; you must not tell me that. Witness—He looked ready to drop, and said " My name is not Collyer, it is Quantock." On being asked why he had as sumed the name of Collyer before, he replied that he had done so for a particular purpose. I previously had called at 9, Fai street. I saw the woman who called herself Mrs. Collyer ; but she said her name was Weed, and that she knew nothing of the transaction. James Bennett, grocer, Gerrard-street, Soho—Oa the 19th April a woman calling herself Mr. Bootie's mother came to my shop. She ordered goods to the amount of 101. to go to Para dise-row, Chelsea. I agreed to give her a week's credit—the first parcel to be paid for on delivery. It was not so paid for. She came again and ordered another parcel of goods, value 41., which was sent. I went to the house in Paradise row, and saw the same woman, who gave me a third order, to the amount of 201., which I refused to execute. Shortly afterwards, Boone called upon me, and wished to have some gunpowder tea. At this stage of the proceedings, Mr. PAYNE objected that Mr. Bennett's name was not in the first count of the indictment, which only charged the pri soners with defrauding Davis and Penning, ; and the second count, containing the general charge of defrauding various other persons, was too general to include this evidence. The COMMON SERGEANT thought that even under the first count, the evidence was to be admitted, as showing the quo aninio of the conspiracy. Examination continued.—l refused the order which Boone asked me to execute, saying that I had already given credit, to a considerable extent, to Mrs. Boone. He pro mised tol pay me on the ,following Saturday. He did not do so. On the Monday I went to Paradise-row, but Boone was gone, and I never saw him afterwards till he appeared at Guildhall. Mr. Drimsdalc, landlord of the house No. 9, Fan-street, let it to a person calling himself Thomas Collyer, neither of the prisoners at the. bar. I was referred to Quantock, at Brook hill. I saw him, and he gave Collyer an excellent character. I received no rent, and in a few weeks after found the house deserted, and some of the fixtures gone. Anne Spencer—Remember in the month of May last, a person applying to me about a house in St. An drew's-hill, which I had to let. He called himself Collyer. He was not either of the prisoner.; at the bar. He referred me to 9, Fan-street. My husband went there, and in consequence of what he said I let the shop and parlour to Collyer, at 18s. per week. I received only one week's rent. They remained there three weeks, and went away one morning at six o'clock, a fortnight in arrear. This witness's evidence was confirmed by her husband. William Lowther, in the employ of Messrs. Smith and Co., stationers, Newgate- street—A woman, in May last, who called herself Mrs. Collyer, applied for goods to the value of 61., which were sent to St. Andrew's hill. I went to St. Andrew's-hill, in consequence of what I hare heard from Mr. Fening, and took all the goods away. I saw there a woman representing herself as Mrs. White, the mother of the husband of the woman calling herself Mrs. Col lyer. Mrs. White dared me to remove the goods. Cross-examined by Mr. PAYNE.-On the sth of May, the day before the goods were delivered, the prisoner Boone called at our shop, and I saw him respecting this order, and he called himself Mr. Collyer. (The case was proceeding when our reporter left, and was likely to last all day.) NEW COURT. This being the day for the opening of the London Sessions, the Recorder was obliged to attend at Guildhall for that pur pose, and the Common Scrjeant who usually presides in this Court, in consequence took the Learned Rec3rder's place in the Old Court. The jury and witnesses were in waiting feorn ten o'clock till half-past eleven, when Mr. Serjeant ARABIN entered the Court, and apologized for the delay that had taken place. Had he been apprized that the Recorder could not attend, he should have been there at nine o'clock, as easily as at that hour, and he hoped the jury would believe that it was through no neglect of his, that the delay had occurred. The Learned Serjeant then retired to robe, and shortly after vrarda took his seat on the bench. William Jones, 34, a coachmaker, was indicted for stealing a sum of 6/. 4s. 6d. the property of Robert Clarke, from his dwelling-house. The prisoner pleaded guilty. John Justice, 19, was indicted for embezzling various small sums of money, the property of his master, Michl Robert Jenkins. The prisoner was in the employment of the prosecutor, a publican, and was in the habit of carrying out beer, and receiv ing the money. He left at the end of ten days without giving notice, and it was then ascertained that he had obtained money from the customers. The jury returned a verdict of guilty. John Easton, 17, was indicted for stealing a half crown, the property of David Watson. . . The prisoner was a journeyman-baker in the employment of the prosecutor, and in consequence of some suspicions he marked a half. crown piece, which was aft?rwards found on the prisoner's person. The money was given into the custody of a policeman, and when it was now produced the prosecutor could not identify it. The mark was quite different from that which he had made.—Not Guilty. The Learned SERGEANT told the prisoner that he had a very narrow escape, and recommended him to be more cautious in future. Henry Hawkins, 34, was indicted for stealing a sum of 145., the property of his master, Samuel Lindley. The prosecutor is a spirit and naptha oil manufacturer, and sent the prisoner to pay the sum laid in the indictment to a person in the City, but he appropriated it to his own use, and absconded.—Guiity. Daniel Driscoll, 42, was indicted for stealing 601bs. weight of butter, value 31. 2s. 6,1., the property of Major Pratt. The property in question was lying at the door of Mr Jen ning's shop in Newgate-market, and the prisoner, who is in the habit of working in the market, was seen to put it on the shoniders of a companion, and they both walked off. lie did not come to this market again for a fortnight, when he ryas immediately taken into custody.—Guilty. lIATTON GARDEN-(TIIIS DAY). Mary Sullivan, a rather good-looking girl far advanced in pregnancy, was placed at the bar charged with having obtained under false pretences, 31- lbs. of pickled pork, z lb of salt butter, and 6 eggs, value 3s. 5d., from Joseph Binckes, of Clerkenwell Green. The prosecut,r stated, that the prisoner obtained the above articles from him on the representation that they were for her master, but whose service she had left for some ii,ne past. The late master and mistress appeared and stated, that the girl had no authority whatever from them to Focure the pork, &c. The poor creature, on being asked by the Magistrate whe ther she had ar,y thing to say in her defence, replied in a low tone of voice, and with tears in her eyes, " No, Sir, I have nothing to say." She was committed for trial at the present Ra.iley Sessions, and the parties bound over to prosecute. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.-(THIS DAY.) DEAL, JAN.

Another division of the 85th arrived yester day morning from Windsor by the steamer Gazelle." (From the Fredericton Royal Gazette of Nov. 29. ) At a meeting of the officers of the Ist btAttalion of the York County Militia, held at the Adjutant-ae° in Frederic ton, it was resolved, " That it is our duty at this time to give expression to those feelings of loyalty by which the people of this province have ever beet, actuated, and thus to convey our unqualified disapprobation of the pro ceedings of the seditious faction in Lower Canada, as well as our cordial sympathy for, and desire to supp ort our loyal fel low-subjects in that province.

We have a very blank day for intelligence in the city this morning. Great anxiety is expressed for the letters by the Oxford, New York packet-ship, of the 16th ult., which may be expected at Liverpool to-morrow or on Thursday.

As yet we cannot learn the information, but report says a revolu tion has taken place at Maranham. Consols for the Account, 921 THREE O'CLOCK• MONEY MARKET. (From the Morning* Chronicle.) The depression which Consols sustained on Saturday afternoon, in consequence of various unfavourable rumours of a political nature, has beer fully recovered, and they have advanced f per cent. upon the clos ing quotation of that day, while they altogether seem to be more buoyant than lately, which is chiefly attributable to the more cheerful tone of the letters to-day from Canada. The private advices which reached the city this morning from Canada a-e altogether of a more satisfactory nature, and from their general tenour it would seem that the rebels were greatly intimidated by their defeat at St. Charles, and were retiring from place to place, afraid to meet tt e troops in,combat. If this system continues, of course they would be• dr ven up into a corner, especially as the reinforcements of troops had arrived, and then obl'ged to lay down their arms at discretion, or be w lolly routed at the point of the bayonet, which it appears they do not at like. The steam-vessel from Montreal had reached Quebec with 10,000 stand of arms and a corresponding quantity of ammunition and ot'ier warlike supplies. The first division of troops from Halifax reached Quebec on the 4th ult., and the present accounts come down to the Gth ult. inclusive. New York papers of the 11th ult. have come to hand. The Canada question engrossed almost the chief attention in the United St , ,tes ; but the opinions upon it are so various and conflicting that it is difficult to arrive a' any result. In the local political aspect there was no altera tion, nor had anything of moment been transacted in the Legislature. The Secretary of the Treisury had presented his annual report; but as the subject has been alluded to twice recently by the President, it fur nishes very little fresh information. The exports during the year ending the3oth September, he stltes, were 116.906,060 dollars, of which 95 ,183,199 dollars were of domestic, and 21,729,861 dollars of foreign origin; being a decrease in the former, as compared with the year end ing September 30, 1836, of 11,733,481 dollars, and 23,499 dollars in the latter. The imports during the year amounted to 140,852,980 dollars, being a decrease, as compared with the previous year, of 4 9,127,055 dollars. Commercial matters in the United States were going on well, and the rate of exchange on this country had receded to 110 f, while the impres sion was that before the sailing of the next packet it would be under pit. '[he augmentation of our forces in Canada will tend a good deal to keep it low, for the bills upon the government will necessarily be hi_ creased considerably, and they sooner or later find their way to New York. The Bank of America, one of the " pet tanks," had drawn upon Messrs. Rothschild, of London, on account of the Ameican govern ment, for indemnity money we believe still due, to the amount of 1,000,000 dollars, which, under the present position of commerce, must have produced its effect on the market. This state of things is, however, of the utmost moment to those who have claims to make in the United States, for remittances c.ar consequently be effected with little or no 1 ms, and it is only fair to expect that persons who strained every nerve to liquidate their debts in this country when the exchange was 120 and 121 will do so with increased alacrity when the rate has receded to 108 or 110. The internal exchanges had likewise assumed a more favourable appearance, and the reaction in many was very marked. The rate of New Orleans, which was 15 prem. a short time since, has receded to 1 and 14 prem.; and on Mobile, which was for some time at 20 prem., it is quoted at 5 prem. The southern ex changes were in fact almost equalized, which •is a very remarkable fact in the existing state of monetary affairs in America ; and if the rate on New Orleans fell to par, which there was every reason to expect would be the case, it would be unprecedented, we believe, in the commercial annals of that country. This has of course arisen from the large amount of specie transmitted from New York to the south for the pur chase of cotton while the or.lers upon that city were wholly out of pro portion, while at the same time it shows amore wholesome state of busi. ncss, and holds out still further hopes for a speedy revival of sound and legitimate trade.

COLONIAL MARKETS. Canadian produce continues perfectly nominal, just as it was yester day, and in all probability will continue to do so until we hear some thing decisive from that part of the world. The market for Groceries opened to-day, and a good f...eling to purchase appeared to exist. The goods advertised fur sale were not heavy, consisting of Bengal and Bar bailees Sugar, Mocha, Ceylon, and Brazil Coffee, Rice, Pepper, and Cloves. When we left the market the sales were progressing, but no variation of moment in prices bad then occurred. Some think tha. 13. P. Sugar will be higher. The last quoted price of Crushed Sugar if 395. Tea continues to progress very heavily at the public sale to-claf and the inclination of prices is downwards. The imports of Groceries are good just now for the time of the year, but the business advertised or the week in them is small. THE SUN, LON DON, TUESD AY, JAN UAR IT 2, 1838.
